The hotel was very clean and modern. The room had a full kitchen, which we weren't expecting. The staff was professional and those with less experience were being supervised and trained. The breakfast was OK... I've had better and I've had worse, but no complaints. The coffee was very good. The special request I made at the time of reservation, for two extra pillows, was not executed but, in the end, I didn't mind. I would stay here again.

The stay was nice. Room is great for a long stay. My window leaked when it rained and when I checked it out it wasn't even locked. Kind of strange, guess I should have checked it sooner. Very clean, very comfortable. Breakfast was always good, basic hotel style. Not many guests when I was there so it was quiet!
